I scored a set of 88-94 SS mirrors today off a guy on Kijiji. Man I love that site!
But when I went to try to instal them I could not figure out how to take the door panel off so I could change out the mirrors. I understand that the panel just snaps off, but in order to do that one first must to remove the window crank.
However, I could not figure out how to saftly remove the window crank. It has no screws holding it on, so am I correct in assuming that it is just a matter of prying the handle off? I tried to take it off but I was afraid to pull them off for fear of breaking them before I got someone to confim how to take the handles off.
So can anyone help me here? Do the window cranks just pry off with enough effort?
